Just curious if anyone can help with this? I usually smoke a whole packer brisket but wanting to do TWO points. My source can provide flats, points or packers and in this case, I am keen to do TWO points. I monitor internal temprature so that will drive when I pull the points but just...

I am a long time WSM user based in the UK. I like to use a mix of mostly Australian Heat Beads plus some lump and wood chunks. In the UK, Austrlian Heat Beads have been getting harder and harder to get - so I guess I need to find an alternative? At least that is my experience. Any...

Agree with this 100%. I have a Hunsaker Vortex Fire Basket which I now only use when doing chicken. My family and I do not like it for other things. But that is just a matter of our taste buds. For longer cooks, I use a water pan with a foil wrapped pizza pan on top of my water pan to make...

That is awesome! Nice job...I have some spare original doors and know what I am going to try. Thank you!!

Has anyone ever experimented with an "inner charcoal ring" to help with the fuse/snake method of burning charcoal? My thinking is if the 22" ring is 17 inches, dropping a smaller ring (around 10 or 11 inches) inside. My thinking is this would allow me to make my snake/fuse more stable...

Howdy! Happy holidays to folks and all the best for 2021.... Like many folks, I like to try different methods for cooking and love to do mods. I have two WSM22 and have pimped them out with lid hinges, stainless steel doors, the Cajun Bandit Extended Rack Support Kit, gaskets and a better...

Thanks folks, doing them today and will post how it goes. Will follow the instructions on TVB...

Thanks Stefan! I have been refurbishing my Silver B for many years but it is now at a point where even the body is gone. If I was in the USA (where I am originally from) I might go that route. I have found it hard to get parts in the UK for my US grill. I have loved my Silver B but ready to move...

Anyone have any experience if doing Turkey Crowns (just the breasts) on a WSM? SOmething you can buy here in the UK. Not sure if they are sold in the USA and/or called something else? At a minimum - is there a rule of thumb for time per pound for poultry?

Long time Weber user. I have two Weber Smoky Mountains and an old Genesis Silver B. The gasser has been in 3 different countries now - USA, Switzerland and now the UK. It is time for me to get a new Weber gas grill. Will there be new features / models in 2020? Any announcements yet? The reason...

@Timothy and @DUstin - many thanks! I got it sorted. After screw extractors, WD40, hacksaw, one version of the tool below (the non vise grip kind) I got these two things: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07678BJLJ/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07677TBQ6/ I should have done a...

Thanks all....getting some better rust remover and will try a grinder or hacksaw (on the inside of the WSM). I am also borrowing some "special" vice grips that are designed to hold stripped screws. I will win...:)

I am trying to install some new, custom straps on my Weber 57 cm (22 incher). I have six years of grease and rust and the nuts and bolts weber uses are crap. So screws are stripped. I knew that would be the case... I have broken several bolt extractors and coated them in WD40. Any other...

I currently use heavy duty "kiln bricks" when I want to use the "Fuse Method" in my 18.5 WSM. I do this as it is easier (for me) to stack the charcoal higher and it does not fall down in the middle. I do wonder if the bricks are both good and bad? (1) They do a great job of absorbing and...

I am interested in lowering my water pan and adding a 3rd shelf. I can take my exisiting straps to a local metal shop and likely get what I need done. But I am wondering if anyone knows of a source who does these already? I know lots of folks sell various mods (like lid hinges) so hoping someone...

Thanks for the input. It is supposed to be terrible weather on Saturday, which is always a challenge with high winds and rain. The added mass defintely concerns me. My plan is to smoke them for a good 8-10 hours. Then move them inside at midnight. If I startat 1600, that should be "enough"...

I am doing a smoke for a local UK resteraunt this weekend. I did it last year and borrowed a WSM from a buddy so had two WSM and did 4 biskets plus some ribs. This year, I just have my 22 WSM but think I can get 4 packers on it. I use soup cans on my bottom rack and then plan to use a smaller...

Thanks folks. Will stick with Chicken and let you know how I get on. May not have to do as many as I thought but will let you know. Thanks!

I am having a large party at my place and want to cook multiple whole chickens. I will probably rig up an extra shelf between the top and bottom shelves to give me another rack. I have a WSM 22.5. I am thinking I can get at least 12 chickens in there and I will monitor temp of the chickens...

Howdy folks, Dave Z here....originally from Pennsylvania but moved to Texas when I was 13. Lived in Texas most of my life but have been living in Europe for the past 10 years. Glasgow, Zürich and now Grayshott, a small village in Surrey, outside of London. Many thanks to all who built and...
